Description

I am an energetic, creative, independent and open-minded girl who loves to discover and learn new things. I am a swiss medical student who is deeply interested in herbal medicine. I studied one year in Granada (2021-2022).
I am fascinated with mother nature it is the reason why I want to learn more about permaculture et medical plants. I have always loved gardening, cooking and cherishing the food I eat, but I want to learn more by living, helping in a farm and work with the land.
For many years now, I've been trying to find, learn and integrate sustainable ways to eat, consume and produce. For this reasons, I became part of a community garden.
Moreover, I am a lover of all outdoors sports and all kind of art. I started to surf when I was a teenager and since then I felt in love with it.
I usually paint, but, as hand-working person, I also try to do and fix all by my own hands. A friend of mine and I created a herbal drier last year!
I would bring you endless joy, motivation and curiosity. I hope, through a new work-away experience to help, to share and to learn.

More details about your skills

I did a gap year in 2018 in Germany and the USA where I experienced my first work away in Queens, NYC. I had to take care of the house and the elderly. I was an incredible experience, with incredible people with whom I am still in touch. I created wonderful relationships.
I spent a month in a self-suffisent farm near Málaga, taking care of the garden, the trees and the animals. It made me realize of much I needed to be connected with the nature.
I have done severals jobs who made me learn the team-work, the sense of duty and work-sharing, the mutual aid and responsabilites.
I worked in a hotel-restaurant as a waitress and in the stewardship, I worked a supermarket, a nursing home, I look after children and the elderly. I am currently helping the elderly at their home, doing nursing directly where they live.
It has been 10 months that I am doing my intership in hospitals.
